Results

This blog and the overall experiment associated with it is almost at an end, there's only one month remaining until I'm abandoning this blog.

With the sub-experiment ending this morning, the following results were achieved/experienced:

• Decisiveness and risk taking has increased significantly, where indecisive decision making has gone down from one year, to three months then down to several days.
• Emotional expression and willingness to do so has increased, including sadness, happiness, anger, jealousy and expressing "love".
• Willingness to let others into my life has been experienced.
• Straight forwardness, while not being blunt, has been determined the best course of future action and will be used.
• Action is determined to be having to be initiated on my part rather than waiting for the other party to initiate.
• Honesty policy will be modified and let out on a need to know basis, with honesty either from the beginning or not at all, but nothing so drastic to deviate from the chosen course of action.
• Decisions are final, don't dwell on it.

On a side note, psychological profile of "subject" has been expanded, with some previous assumptions verified.  The sub-experiment has been proven highly successful in helping me understand my own actions and what's needed to be done in the future.  I wish I can say the same thing for the progress of the overall experiment.  Sociability and agreeableness still remains low to moderate.  Smiling is now a more natural course of action and waving is becoming more and more natural.  Still a lot of work to be done.

I had an extensive conversation with Christine after class today and she was happy to talk to me.  Unfortunately, during class, when she would look at me, I would look back through the corner of my eye and she would immediately look forward again.  I thought I told myself to stop doing that.  Must fix it.
